Hevi-Shot Magnum Blend 28 Gauge Ammo 3" 1 oz #5, #6, #7 Tungsten Shot - HS28567
HEVI-Shot Magnum Blend 28 gauge ammo is built for turkey hunting applications where pattern density and pellet energy are critical. This 3" shotshell features a 1 oz blended payload of #5, #6, and #7 tungsten shot, combining different pellet sizes for layered pattern performance. With a muzzle velocity of 1300 fps, it delivers strong downrange energy while maintaining effective spread characteristics. The tungsten shot is denser than traditional lead, allowing pellets to retain energy and improve penetration at extended distances. This multi-size payload is designed to balance reach and pattern fill within a single shell. It is packaged in 5-round boxes with 50-round bulk case options available. Bulk purchases of this 28 gauge bulk ammo through Target Sports USA include free shipping.

Deep Dive
Overview
This 28 gauge ammo is intended for turkey hunting where a balance of pellet count and energy is needed for effective performance. The blended shot sizes allow for both pattern density and reach, making it suitable for hunters working within typical and slightly extended turkey ranges. It is well-suited for lightweight shotgun platforms commonly used in 28 gauge setups. The load performs best when paired with a quality turkey choke to optimize pattern consistency. Hunters can use this configuration to achieve reliable coverage while maintaining sufficient pellet energy. Bulk formats of 28 gauge bulk ammo are useful for preseason patterning and multiple hunts.
History and Development
HEVI-Shot produces shotshell ammunition that utilizes tungsten-based shot to improve pellet energy and pattern performance compared to traditional lead loads. These higher-density materials help support better energy retention and consistent pellet distribution within a given payload. Product lines such as Magnum Blend incorporate multiple shot sizes in a single shell to balance pattern density and effective range. These loads are developed for hunting applications, including turkey hunting where pattern consistency is important. HEVI-Shot continues to offer a range of shotshell options designed around this approach.
